Alberto A. Mendivil's Online Review Report Card

I was referred to Dr Mendivil by my gynecologist for a hysterectomy. I'm so thankful for her suggestion. Dr Mendivil is a very nice, caring man and a highly skilled surgeon. My surgery was a huge success. No issues whatsoever including recovery. I highly recommend him!

I was very grateful for Dr. Mendivil’s expertise. He was originally referred for a second opinion by the gynecologist whom my primary care doctor referred; since he would have been able to treat my large adenoma in my uterus if it turned out to be cancerous-with a single surgery. He was very professional, compassionate and patient. He gave me the option of a partial or total hysterectomy. He indicated that since I was menopausal, I did not require those organs. Although I accept partial responsibility for my bad decision, and I greatly regret this, Dr. Mendivil could have and should have provided additional information about the potential of life long medical problem- overactive bladder. I wish Id have spoken with either of two unrelated physicians. One stated that the bladder of women slump down when it is no longer held up by the gynecologic organs. The other, an Eastern surgeon, with much confidence indicated that all our organs have necessary functions- even those we presume to be extraneous. As mine turned out, the symptom-free, large, non-cancerous fibroid, which had been incidentally located (due to my participation in a clinical trial, from which I was removed) left me with daily, life long frequent urination, as the issue of an overactive bladder. I had decided to send the doctor a recommendation, that he provide more facts to women considering hysterectomies. i dont see where I may send this to him, and I decided to inform future patients on this site. Learn from my mistake, question and consider your alternatives and make educational decisions.

I am an RN and a discerning one so when I need medical care I make sure it is professional and ethical. I found that in my experience as a cancer patient by selecting this good man who happens to be an excellent doctor! He greets you with a sincere interested attitude and even looks you in the eye and shakes your hand or gives you a caring hug. He talks to you and answered your questions but also respects your decisions about his recommendations. Finding all these qualities is a rare experience in the hectic over worked medical profession. The five stars should have some more added for this young man who is worthy of gratitude. My Cancer is no longer my problem God and Dr Mendevil have restored my health

I had stage IV ovarian cancer but after care with Dr Mendivil and his team -- now I have none! I was so scared bc my CA125 was so high at diagnosis. I can't say enough about the excellent experience, tho of course I'd prefer not having had cancer. As a patient, I received the best care and outcome possible. Quick return calls, lots of help with my insurance, good self care tips, quick scheduling when needed, excellent surgery (smallest scar!), the best new infusion center. Plus a ton of kindness and hope! Thank you so much Dr Mendivil and team!!!

By far the best of the best of the best of the best Doctor's my mom has had the pleasure to have! Doctor Mendivil is very patient, very professional and is so caring of his patients. My mom was at stage 4 of ovarian cancer and he helper her throughout her whole cancer journey. He answered every one of my mom's questions and concern's and didn't even rush any of the visits. This might be a litter exaggerated but he will forever be one of my mom's angels. My family and I are so very thankful for this doctor! She is now cancer free!! :D

It's been almost 18 months since I was diagnosed with uterine cancer and was referred to him by my PCP. I am really glad that I was referred to him. Dr. Mendevil is a very compassionate doctor. Coming from a family of doctors it has been hard for me to trust other doctors. Will recommend him at a heart beat.

I have to explain this review - I really iked Dr. Medivil and I thought he did a wonderful job handling my laparoscopic hysterectomy. But I want to pass on important information he didn’t tell me. When I was trying to decide whether to have the hysterectomy, Dr. Mendivil assured me one ovary would be enough to regulate hormones and there would be no need for supplementation. Weeks after the surgery in my follow up appointment, he asked me if I was having hot flashes, and I told him I was. He was not surprised at all and prescribed a patch and told me to use it for 13 years. Now the patch is not bad to deal with, but it can be expensive!! I have paid anywhere from $50-$130 a month. I pay this until I meet my deductible each year. Now maybe it’s partly on me for not looking into it further myself. But I want to put this out there in case it helps someone else with their decision or helps someone to know what they might experience.

Un gran doctor , sobre todo un gran ser humano, gentil , y siempre preocupado por sus pacientes, me recupere rapido de mi operación,te escucha y te hace sentir tranquila , gracias dr Alberto Dios lo bendiga por siempre...🙏

Nada profesional! Fui por un problema en mi ovario derecho y por la prueba CA125 alta y según sin realizar ningún tipo de examen no es preocupación y solo se resumió a que podía ser endometriosis! Jamás regresaría a este lugar aparte de que ni siquiera me entregaron un resumen de la visita ni documento!

Dr. Mendivil was excellent. He used the da Vinci procedure to remove 5 large fibroids. This was life changing for me. Thank you Dr. Mendivil for giving me a better quality of life.
